Today April 25 is World Malaria Day.
Malaria is a major cause of Maternal and Child deaths in Africa.
Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to malaria as pregnancy reduces a woman’s immunity to malaria, making her more susceptible to malaria infection and increasing the risk of illness, severe anaemia and death.
The parasites of malaria may be present in the placenta and affect the unborn child. Maternal malaria increases the risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, premature delivery and low birth weight - a leading cause of child mortality.
Newborn babies have weak immune system and our not able to fight malaria.
Defeating Malaria means:
1. Keeping your environment clean
2. Sleeping in Insecticide Treated Mosquito Net
3. Preventive treatment during pregnancy
4. Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of malaria infections.
